Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kanniyakumari to meditate from May 30 to June 1, following the conclusion of the Lok Sabha election campaign.
Modi To Meditate for 48 Hours at Tamil Nadu's Vivekananda Rock Memorial
In 2019 Modi, dressed in saffron robes, was photographed meditating in a holy cave near Kedarnath.
According to Hindu beliefs, the Vivekananda rock was also the place where Goddess Kanniyakumari (Parvati) performed penance in devotion to Lord Shiva. A small projection on the rock is believed to be an imprint of her foot, adding to the religious significance of the site.
PM Modi is known to undertake spiritual journeys at the end of election campaigns. In 2019, he visited Kedarnath, and in 2014 he visited Shivaji’s Pratapgarh.
The Lok Sabha election is being held in seven phases beginning on April 19, and the results will be out on June 4. PM Modi and the BJP hope to return to power with a performance exceeding their count in 2019.
He will meditate at the Dhyan Mandapam from the evening from May 30 to the evening of June 1.
Swami Vivekananda arrived in Kanniyakumari after wandering across the country and meditated for three days on a rock located about 500 meters off the mainland, at the meeting point of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea. It is believed that Vivekananda attained enlightenment here.
